I haven’t had the chance to report on this, but it is kind of an eyesore. Fastpass+ at Spaceship Earth. It isn’t even the fact that the ride has FP that bothers me, it is the fact that this gigantic piece of clutter has to go in here now.

Overall, I am a fan of this location. The old ice cream parlor that was here was dark, relatively dirty, and didn’t have the greatest menu. The new ice cream location in France is a vast improvement over the old Fountain View. This Starbucks is significantly smaller than the Main Street Bakery at Magic Kingdom, and I can see it getting pretty congested during busy times. Overall, I think it’s a plus for the park.

Also happening is preparation for the annual Food and Wine Festival, with lots of the booths now in place.
